Hi Team,

I just updated from 2.2.0 to the most current, as well as WordPress up to 4.1.1.

I also went to install the current (4.3.5) version of WPBakery Visual Composer, but it breaks everything on the site. I’m not yet running a child theme, but activating breaks the site none-the-less. The error given is a PHP one similar to others have posted, but is specifically a preg_split() error with ‘unknown modifier ‘y’ listed. Posting an exceprt below:

Warning: preg_split(): Unknown modifier 'y' in /home3/maddy/public_html/ichauffeurmelbourne.com.au/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 244

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home3/maddy/public_html/ichauffeurmelbourne.com.au/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 246

Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /home3/maddy/public_html/ichauffeurmelbourne.com.au/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 297

Which is repeated from there.

Thanks and much appreciation ahead of time.

Hi there,

Upon checking your site I see you have plugins activated please disable all plugins except those come with X and try to activate visual composer, check if it solve issue or not.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi, I tried deactivating one by one, then deactivate all but X-Shortcodes and the same error still appears, pointing to formatting.php

I should add, this only occurred after the new version of X and the plugin were installed, the same error appeared prior to updating WordPress and a previous version of the plugin worked fine (but only had the back-end editor).

Hi There,

Try reinstalling your Visual composer, follow this guide below:

Please try deactivating the plugin before trying to update. If that doesn’t work, delete the plugin first either by deleting within WordPress backend of by deleting the js composer plugin folder via FTP, then try installing the plugin again via X Addons > Extensions.

You can also manually find the plugin installation zip via this path: /wp-content/themes/x/framework/plugins

You can download the zip and upload in via the WordPress Plugin Uploader or FTP the extracted plugin folder into the plugin’s directory.

The latest version of X and X-Shortcodes will work best with bundled version of VC.

Hope it helps. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks.
